Hello! I am using PHP contact form on my website and want to know - Is it possible to change senders name, I am receiving emails with Sender name like axxxxxxx@srv30.000webhost.com - can I change it?

[echo442]

yes you can set it that the senders email is a email address you run

<input type="hidden" name="email_address" value="info@echo442.uphero.com" maxlength="1" />

and that will be the address that is has come from

1st: your solution hides away Submit button, because you put type="hidden"
2nd: when i put value="info@echo442.uphero.com" - it shows Submit button not with the name Submit, but with this address name
3d: when I use name="email_address" my PHP form simply doesn't work...

this one works and the email box is hidden for work example go here http://brick-decals.tk/email/test.php

<?php
if ($_POST["email"]<>'') {
$ToEmail = 'info@echo442.uphero.com';
$EmailSubject = 'Site contact form';
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."";
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."";
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Comment: ".nl2br($_POST["comment"])."";
mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");
?>
Your message was sent
<?php
} else {
?>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="29%" class="bodytext">Your name:</td>
<td width="71%"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext"></td>
<td><input type="hidden" name="email" type="text" id="email" value="info@echo442.uphero.com (your email " size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext">Comment:</td>
<td><textarea name="comment" cols="45" rows="6" id="comment" class="bodytext"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext"> </td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
};
?>

Hello guys,

I do not really know how to use the php code provided. where should I put it? in a separate file? under which folder? How can I call the php code from an html file? Can I actually put the php file within the html file?

If someone could explain this as for dummies, i would really appreciate.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot

put the cdoe that quote in to a php file called email.php and then you can use an iframe to put the code in to a .html file

<iframe src="email.php"></iframe>

php code

<?php
if ($_POST["email"]<>'') {
$ToEmail = 'info@echo442.uphero.com';
$EmailSubject = 'Site contact form';
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."";
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."";
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "Comment: ".nl2br($_POST["comment"])."";
mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");
?>

<tr>

<td><input type="hidden" name="email" type="text" id="email" value="info@echo442.uphero.com (your email " size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext">Comment:</td>
<td><textarea name="comment" cols="45" rows="6" id="comment" class="bodytext"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext"> </td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
};
?>

Thanks a lot for the answer. I have done as you said and replaced the two email addresses for the gmail address I want the email to be delivered to, but I get nothing. I guess the problem is the php mail function. Does it need to be configured with email servers or anything?

Still, the only thing I want to do is change the default sender in the contact module so that sent emails are not sent to spam.

Maybe it is easier to go to the code of the default contact form and modify it. Do you know where thios code is? i am uising the 000webhost web builder...

Thanks a lot!

Do you mean the template of the contact form in website builder? In website builder , click on contact on the left, and then click the little blue "template" word. Then click the tiny "html" icon for the source code to the contact form.

[albertogomez]

Thanks a lot for the advice!

When I do as you say, the code only shows:

{%contact%}

Which I guess is kind of a macro or something, but I cannot see the code of that macro :-(
